Comment 7 for bug 987531

I have a problem with CPU over "ondemand" governor on Kubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, but I'm not sure if this is related with that report.
CPU AMD Athlon X2 4800+ under "powernow-k8" driver. Tested with 3.2.0-24-generic Kernel, and 3.3.6 Kernel from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~upubuntu-com/+archive/kernel

The problem is that my CPU constantly running at full speed over "ondemand" governor (2.50 GHz) even the CPU usage is low , with a consequent increase in temperature. This problem did not occur in Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, which under "ondemand" CPU cores running at 1000 MHz when CPU usage is low and frecuency increased when required. Therefore, the CPU temperature remains lower in Oneiric.
I set "conservative" as governor with cpufreq-set, but CPU is always running at full speed too.

Whatever governor I choose, only allows higher frequency(not scaling allowed):
 current policy: frequency should be within <"2.50 GHz and 2.50 GHz">.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
